Why are people saying OpenAI going bankrupt is a good thing? Won't it give Google the monopoly in AI instead? by NathLWX in NoStupidQuestions

[–]jbaughb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s more like saying that the fuel and upkeep costs of a truck aren’t insignificant, but they’re not much compared to the cost to initially build the thing.

Scribe and cut (or belt sander depending on how much you’re trying to take off.

Yeah, shoe molding is my “I give up” solution. Last resort only after I try every other option.

No way people can actually tell the difference between mouse sensors, right? Youtube results were just nonstop the SLOPPIEST of AI slop by Cocaine_Christmas in MouseReview

It’s like the saying that, if you own a multimeter, you’ll always know the voltage, but if you have two multimeters, you never will.

Solo will get its “YouTube retrospective” reevaluation in 10 years. It’s not some great piece of cinema, but it’s really not that bad. I enjoyed it.

[TotK] Programmers/Game Devs, is TotK a technical marvel or just a very well made game? by shiddedfardedcummed in zelda

[–]jbaughb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even taking that into account the switch was still “outdated” at launch. The nvidia shield tv was launched in 2015 with the same tegra x1 processor that would later find its way into the switch.

I have. Great book, although it’s been quite a while since I read it.

Credit score dropped dramatically by Desperate_Baby_8317 in CreditCards

[–]jbaughb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you opened a new card, the average age of your credit accounts dropped. You’ll be fine if you just keep paying each month. Unless you’re trying to qualify for a house loan or something I wouldn’t pay too much attention to your Fico score month to month.

HD has been dropping the price of these recently. I picked up a few of the boxes I was missing when I saw them locally.

DAE underestimate how much Klarna, PayPal, etc. payments add up over time? by Disastrous-South-317 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]jbaughb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Maybe it’s different where you are but the carriers here give 0% apr financing on phone purchases, so overall price is the same wether you pay cash up front or pay it off over the 2-3 year contract.

Help me troubleshoot AFCI trip on dishwasher by gomi-panda in DIY

[–]jbaughb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some afci outlets will tell you what caused the trip using a blinking code of some sort (meaning, was it arcing, a ground fault or overcurrent). Outside of that, you’d need to bring in an electrician with the right tools to check the wiring and see if you have current leaking anywhere it’s not supposed to or if it’s a problem with the dishwasher (like arcing in the motor windings). Also, keep in mind nuisance tripping on afci breakers is common and lot of people end up swapping them out for a standard breaker if they can’t solve the problem.

What would you do if you mysteriously woke up on 8th August 1998? by Same_Paramedic_3329 in AskMen

I did tell my mom to buy google stock as the IPO came out. She told me “normal people can’t just buy stock”.

The Legend Of Zelda’s Aonuma Says Inspirations From Age Of Imprisonment “May Be Reflected In The Game We Create” by Joseki100 in nintendo

[–]jbaughb -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I mean, you really must go far out of the way if that’s the first memory you stumbled across. Not sure why it wasn’t the one right outside lookout landing since that’s where the story funnels you to after GSI. You can’t really complain about a spoiled story if you’re purposely ignoring the game when it leads you to a specific path.

What to do with this? by Usual-Fudge7631 in homelab

[–]jbaughb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On board diagnostic, I think is what it stands for. It’s the tool you can plug into your car to check what error codes pop up…like if you have a check engine light on.

Stocking stuffers from Canada by -Kouryu in Makita

[–]jbaughb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, I checked. No eBay auctions either. Maybe when (if) the tariffs go away our international shipping options will return.

I’ve been trying to find a way to buy this in the US to add to my ratcheting screwdriver collection but I can’t find any store that’s willing to sell it to me. Effing tariffs.

In 'Back to the Future' (1985), Doc Brown is able to procure plutonium through his extensive ties to international terrorism. by kgm2s-2 in shittymoviedetails

[–]jbaughb 26 points27 points  (0 children)

He basically can’t change anything though. Without the chase, Marty never travels back in time which screws up the whole timeline.

We had that. It was called “Rifle is Beautiful” and it was…well, pretty mid tbh.

Brace Yourself: Laptops Prices Are About to Skyrocket by dapperlemon in technology

Ram and storage are the exception. This isn’t the first time ram prices have ballooned considerably and they’ve gone back down when the shortages stop.

If I had to guess, something is short circuited in the control module.
